"These awards feel more special because the winner is clearly a favourite of the kids and also boosts our morale to do better and keep entertaining our audiences," Varun said in a statement on being a part of Kids Choice Awards India for the first time. 

Manish, who has hosted numerous shows, including the celebrity dance-based show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa", is "super excited" for the awards night, which will take place here on December 5. 

"It's a challenge to host live acts and even more challenging when it's for kids because we need to be extra cautious of the gags and jokes we develop. I share a great bond with kids and it's going to be a memorable experience," he said.

The last edition saw superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan gracing the awards ceremony.
